Down-the-line.com / Figure Skating. Former Canadian figure skater, Olympic ice dancing champion Tessa Virtue has spoken out against the possible return of Russian athletes to competitions.

Earlier, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that it could allow the Russians into a neutral status. We are only talking about athletes who did not support the conduct of a special military operation.

Averbukh named the skaters for whom he creates numbers for the tournament according to the programs of the show

“We condemn statements supporting the possibility of participation of Russians and Belarusians in neutral status in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The suspension of international competition is a protest against what is happening in the world, not a simple denied admission to the competition,” Virtu told AP News.
